The London Brick Company, established in 1877, has played a pivotal role in shaping England’s architectural landscape. Renowned for its Fletton bricks, named after the village near Peterborough where they were first produced, the company capitalized on the unique properties of Lower Oxford Clay. This clay’s high carbon content allowed for efficient firing, making the bricks both durable and cost-effective. Over the years, these bricks have been instrumental in constructing over five million homes across the UK, accounting for nearly a quarter of England’s housing stock.
Today, the London Brick Company continues its legacy by offering a diverse range of facing bricks that blend traditional craftsmanship with modern aesthetics. Available in various textures and colours, including rustic reds, warm buffs, and contemporary greys, these bricks cater to both renovation projects and new constructions. Their distinctive ‘frog’ indentation not only aids in handling and laying but also enhances the brick’s structural integrity. With a commitment to quality and sustainability, the London Brick Company remains a trusted choice for builders and homeowners alike.
